FLORENCE, Ala. — A 10-hour standoff ended peacefully Saturday night after an Lauderdale County inmate on the run since April 7 turned himself in.
WHNT-19 is reporting that Christopher Wayne Kilpatrick, 43, gave up after staying inside a building off Cloverdale Road near Florence.
Police surrounded the address near Florence Saturday after receiving a report that Kilpatrick was in the area, Sheriff Rick Singleton said. A deputy spotted a stolen Toyota Tacoma pickup truck out of Tennessee at the address, and Kilpatrick was suspected to be traveling in the vehicle.
Lauderdale County officials shut down the roadways in the area. Multiple law enforcement agencies responded.
After several hours, Kilpatrick turned himself in peacefully. He escaped on April 7 from the Lauderdale County Detention Center.
